🏆[Weekly] Gold Update: Bears Push Price Below $4,100

For gold investors, macro pressures are building. Having fallen past key support levels, the metal is now looking for a clear bottom. Here is the concise weekend market overview.

🔷 Technical Snapshots

🟢 Daily Chart: XAUUSD is in a clear downtrend. Price faces resistance at $4,088.38 and is moving toward its lower Bollinger Band support at $3,957.36. The 14-day RSI stands at 35.76, showing strong bearish momentum with no sign of a turnaround yet.

🟢 4-Hour Chart: Shorter-term action hints at a tentative pause. After hitting near $4,000, gold rebounded about 1.53% and now trades just above the 20-period mid-band at $4,040.95. The 4-hour RSI has risen to 36.95. Up from oversold territory but still below the neutral 50 mark.

🔷 Fundamentals snapshots

🟢 Fed Policy: A divided Fed outlook keeps pressure on prices. New Chair Kevin Warsh has emphasised fighting persistent inflation, opening the door to possible rate increases. Rising bond yields make non-interest-bearing gold less attractive.

🟢 Geopolitics: Safe-haven demand faded quickly after progress on a U.S.-Iran framework. With unimpeded shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, the risk premium in gold has largely vanished.

🚨Next Week’s Market Movers

Expect high volatility in early July:

🟢 July 1: US ISM Manufacturing PMI + ADP Employment figures.

🟢 July 2: Official June Non-Farm Payrolls (released one day early due to Independence Day). Strong data will reinforce hawkish Fed bets and likely push gold lower.

🔷The verdict

$4,000 remains the critical level. If the daily lower Bollinger Band gives way amid next week’s data, a sharper drop toward $3,800 becomes possible. Stick to strict risk controls.
